Kathryn was pacing in her room. She was furious. Sebastian smarter then
her? It was ludicrus. She flipped her hair to her one side as she tilted
her head to stretch out her tense neck. She was never going to speak to him
again, he surely didn't deserve it.
With loathe she stared at her desk and the assingments that awaited her. But she couldn't focus. She was too strung up by Sebastian. She'd show him, oh yes she would.
Trying to calm down and gather her thoughts she narrowed her eyes slightly. She moved towards her door and peaked out, Sebastian's door was open and the room appeared to be empty. She snuck out to the hall and was about to enter his room when she heard the familiar barking of Edwards upset voice.
Her curiousness threw a glance down the hall, then turned back to Sebastian's empty room but finally decided to take her down the hall to Edwards study. She lingered outside the door, hearing the voices inside clear as glass.
"You can not expect this kind of behaviour to get you into college!" Edward roared at what supposedly was Sebastian.
"I know." Came the impatient response followed by a sigh.
"Don't take that tone with me son. This is important! This is your future! A long line of Valmont men have attended this school and you better..."
"...do the same." Sebastian filled in without a tone in his voice. He'd heard the story many times before. It had bored him then too.
Kathryn sniggered a little picturing Edwards face infront of her. But then she sharpened her ear again.
"Yes! It's about not just your reputation Sebastian, but mine and Tiffani's and the entire familys!"
Sebastian glanced at his dad thinking about what rumours were eating away at his precious reputation now. That only increased the pressure of his college choice, now it was more important then ever to his father to maintain a good show for his snotty friends.
Edward had turned away from him and took a seat behind his desk, glaring at a piece of paper with disgust.
"C, Sebastian. A fucking C?"
His son shrugged lazily. He'd seen the grade marked with a bright red pen before. He hadn't been surprised about it, the test had been a nightmare, Kathryn running through his head disrupting his focus. He had been surprised though when the paper had reached his fathers hands very quickly.
Two days of absolute silence and cold glares from Kathryn and now this...what else was in store for him? A vacation to hell?
Of course he didn't mind Kathryn's fury, he was mad at her too. Probably not as mad as she was at him and his anger had started to settle, but none the less - so far it hadn't concerned him too much.
He glanced at the paper in his fathers hand. Well maybe it bothered him a little.
"This will not be repeated Sebastian." Mr Valmont put the paper away. "Ever again? Am I making myself understood."
With a yawn Sebastian nodded and stood up. "Very clear..." He saw the look on his fathers face. "...sir." He curtly added and then with an overexaggerated ingratiating voice he said: "May I leave now father?"
Mr Valmont waved him off. "Very well, but don't forget this Sebastian!"
His son merely rolled his eyes and flew the door open walking out in the hall way. He didn't slam it though, he had the urge but restrained himself. Walking back to his room he swore he saw a movement. He hesitated a few steps and leaned back a little, arching his back. He saw Kathryn in the library, flipping the pages of a thick book with great interest.
His right eyebrow flew up on his forehead. A little too coincidental. Strolling into the spacious room his father had decorated as a library to impress possible guests, he smirked.
Kathryn looked up from her book. Rolling her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
He snorted. "Like you didn't already know? Listening to me and daddy were you?"
"Talk about what? Acne and girls?" Her eyes were bored and she stared down onto the pages of the book in her hand.
Sebastian wasn't convinced though. "No. About me thinking about joining some sort of sports team. You know, for college application, looks good. More then tennis that is." He closely inspected her face as he spoke, she didn't move a muscle, hardly showed any signs of listening at all.
"That's nice. Hope that works out for you." She slammed her book shut. "Then maybe you can go to some fruity football college. Hopefully far away from me." She moved towards the door but Sebastian followed her.
"Yeah, that'd be great cause then I can get accompanied by Trey. Wouldn't that be sweet."
She paused in her moves. "For your information, not that it's any of your business, but I'm not seeing Trey anymore." She gave him a short glare, putting her nose in the air, hating every ounce of his smirking being. She turned around to leave once more, and yet again he followed her. Out in the hall and towards her room.
"Poor boy, Kat you can't keep playing with his heart like this. He won't know what to do. And you know...that usually leads to him being in need of advice." Something in his voice made her stop abruptly and turn around.
"What? Are you talking to Trey behind my back?"
"Well, the boy came to me. What was I supposed to fend him off and run?"
"Yes!" Kathryn was now flushing red. "Don't you dare talk about me with Trey! That's none of your business."
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. "Gees, chill. It's not like I said how you enjoyed being fucked. And for the record I did tell him to consult one of your girlfriends but he didn't want to cause apperantly he thought I knew you better!"
She was shaking, her fists closing. "You don't know anything about me Sebastian!" she spat out and rushed into her room, slamming the door behind her.
Sebastian crinkled his eyebrows but didn't follow her this time. He retreated to his own bedroom instead. She was getting angrier by the day, maybe he should try and smooth things over?
He took a seat behind his desk. Nah, it wasn't of his concern. She'd come around. Didn't she usually?
*****'
Kathryn leaned against her door, taking a couple of breaths to calm herself down. Trey was a stupid moron, she couldn't expect more of him but to go to Sebastian for advice about her - it made them seem like such ... siblings.
She said it a lot but then it was mocking it. She hated it when people regared her and Sebastians as siblings. By marriage, she usually reminded her corny little friends when they were swooning over Sebastian.
She rolled her eyes now. He wasn't even that hot. She'd seen better looking guys. Putting her hair behind her ears she nodded. She'd definitley seen hotter.
She took a seat by her desk. A plan was forming in her head. A grin parted her lips as she started to flip a pencil towards her open math book. She liked it very much indeed.
With loathe she stared at her desk and the assingments that awaited her. But she couldn't focus. She was too strung up by Sebastian. She'd show him, oh yes she would.
